Last night was the final episode in one of the greatest shows we've ever watched. We said goodbye to Parks and Recreation after 7 incredible seasons. We're still drying our eyes after that finale. Watching the cast tell each other how much they love each other on Late Night With Seth Meyers didn't help with the tears.
What's even cuter (and made us ugly cry hard) is that they all sang "Bye, Bye Li'l Sebastian" together:

Featuring Chris Pratt on guitar! We'll miss them even more than we miss Li'l Sebastian.
We're not alone in our sadness after saying goodbye:
If you need me today, I'm probably crying about Parks. #ParksFarewell

Actress Allison Williams has put her wedding plans on hold to support her embattled father Brian Williams as his job as a top U.S. news anchor hangs in the balance. Brian Williams has been handed a six-month suspension from NBC News bosses after he was found to have falsely claimed he was onboard a U.S. forces helicopter that was shot down by opposition gunmen during the Iraq War in 2003.
Girls star Allison defended her dad during a public interview with comedian Seth Meyers in New York on Wednesday (18Feb15), insisting the reporter is not a liar.
She said, "This has been a really hard time. Obviously, (it is) toughest on my dad, who is sort of bearing the full burden of the responsibility for it, but my mum has been so strong.
"My dad has always been there for us 100 per cent of the time... so to be here for him is the least we can do... One thing this experience has not done is shake my trust and belief in him as a man. He's a really good man, an honest man, a truthful man. I can't wait until he's back on TV, and I know many of you guys feel that way."
During the session, the actress also admitted the controversy, on top of her busy schedule, has prompted her and her fiancee Ricky Van Veen to hold off on plans for their big day until the scandal blows over.
She told the audience, "It's been a very full year. You sort of think, 'What could possibly come along that would make me not think about this (wedding planning)?' And then I get (U.S. TV special) Peter Pan and I think, 'OK, I will think only about Neverland and then we'll go back to planning our wedding.'
"Then current events started happening, so that derailed it a little bit, but it has been this really beautiful through line in our lives. It's just something we haven't focused on, but, spoiler alert, we are excited!"
Van Veen, the co-founder of comedy website CollegeHumor.com, proposed to the actress in early 2014.

Actress Allison Williams has spoken out to defend her under-fire father, insisting the U.S. broadcaster is "a truthful man" despite lying about his experiences reporting from a warzone in Iraq.
Brian Williams was suspended from his role as main anchor for NBC News for six months earlier this month (Feb15) after he was exposed for falsely claiming he was onboard a helicopter targeted by opposition gunmen during the Iraq War in 2003. However, Girls star Allison Williams is adamant her father is not a liar and she is urging TV bosses to put him back on air as soon as possible.
During a question-and-answer session with comedian Seth Meyers, she said, "This has been a really hard time. Obviously, (it is) toughest on my dad, who is sort of bearing the full burden of the responsibility for it, but my mom has been so strong.
"My dad has always been there for us 100 per cent of the time... so to be here for him is the least we can do... One thing this experience has not done is shake my trust and belief in him as a man.
"He's a really good man, an honest man, a truthful man. I can't wait until he's back on TV, and I know many of you guys feel that way."

Actress Kristin Chenoweth gave her pilot father an airplane for Christmas. The Glee star's dad, Jerry Morris Chenoweth, is an avid flyer, but sold his plane to put Chenoweth through college and she wanted to repay him for his sacrifice.
She tells U.S. late night host Seth Meyers, "He always was a pilot for fun... He's 70 years old and I'd like to see him fly more because, like, how I sing, he likes to fly..."
Chenoweth was happy to give her father the plane, but won't be joining him for a ride any time soon, because she is terrified of flying.
She continues, "I have flown with him and I think it's one of the reasons I'm very frightened to fly. When I was really little, he got me up in his plane and he was like, 'Oh no, the gears aren't working', and he faked it was going down..."

George Clooney wore an old suit to Sunday's Golden Globe Awards - his wedding tuxedo. The actor and his new wife Amal were on hand for the ceremony, as he received the Cecil B DeMille Award. The couple wed last September (14) in Italy.

Cameron Diaz is letting her new jewellery speak for her after flashing what appeared to be an engagement ring during her appearance on U.S. TV show Late Night with Seth Meyers on Friday (19Dec14). The actress has yet to confirm reports suggesting she and rocker boyfriend Benji Madden are planning to wed - but she offered up a big hint the story is true while promoting her new film Annie last week.
Diaz, who was also sporting a punky nose stud, swept hair out of her eye multiple times using her left hand, showing off a huge diamond sparkler on her ring finger, but made no mention of her rumoured engagement during her chat with Meyers.
Last week, sources told Us Weekly magazine Good Charlotte star Madden, who previously dated Paris Hilton, popped the question recently after a seven-month romance with the Charlie's Angels star.
Diaz's ex-boyfriends include Justin Timberlake, Jared Leto, baseball superstar Alex Rodriguez and British model Paul Sculfor.
Madden has also romanced Australian model Sophie Monk.

Rap entrepreneur 50 Cent has inked a $78 million (£48.75 million) deal with new underwear brand RevolutionWear Frigo. The In Da Club hitmaker, real name Curtis Jackson, took to Instagram.com on Monday (15Dec14) to share the news about his big-money contract for the luxury line, which boasts high-tech design with "superior athletic support".
In the post, he wrote, "I just did a deal for $78 million for underwear. What did you muthaf**kas do today? Lllllllllooooolllllllllll (laugh out loud) Boom FRIGO (sic)".
50 Cent was recently reported to have become a stakeholder in the undergarment firm, which was founded in 2012, alongside superproducer Timbaland, retired baseball icon Derek Jeter and basketball player Carmelo Anthony.
Hours after his announcement, the rapper tried to convince U.S. talk show host Seth Meyers why customers should pay the $100 (£62.50) price tag for a pair of the Frigo boxer briefs.
He joked, "This $100 underwear were actually hand-created and actually hand-stitched."
Getting serious, he added, "They have a technology in 'em where you can put your man apples... For you to place your sack in another sack that has been ergonomically-designed for comfort. But you know, women spend so much money on lingerie, it's the right project for men."
50 Cent is no stranger to multi-million dollar deals - he famously banked $100 million (£62.5 million) after taxes in 2007 when Coca-Cola purchased his Vitamin Water brand, created in partnership with Glaceau beverage bosses, for $4 billion.

Actor Jack Mcbrayer was left petrified after he accidentally hit Mariah Carey in the face with a Frisbee while filming the music video for her 2008 song Touch My Body. The 30 Rock star was cast to play the Hero hitmaker's fantasy love interest in the promo and had to film a scene, in which the pair frolicked in a garden together while throwing the Frisbee, but shooting did not go as planned.
He tells U.S. late night host Seth Meyers, "There was one incident where I was just goofing around with her and at one point I'm supposed to throw a Frisbee at her. That Frisbee hit her in the nose... and I mean it shut that thing down.
"An army of people came over to her... this one bodyguard came marching up to me and I was like, 'Oh this is the end, this is how I die...', but she kept going. She was a trooper, but I was not asked to do anymore Mariah Carey videos."

U.S comedian Jay Leno picked up the prestigious Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on Sunday night (19Oct14) at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
The funnyman, who hosted The Tonight Show for 22 years before stepping down in February (14), was joined by an array of comedians including his TV successor Jimmy Fallon, Jerry Seinfeld, Chelsea Handler, Seth Meyers and Wanda Sykes. The stars all participated in a toast, celebrating his contribution to comedy, and Fallon shared a few words at the event, telling the audience that Leno was "someone to look up to my entire career... he showed me that hard work does pay off." Leno was clearly emotional when receiving the accolade, saying, "This means a tremendous amount to me. I am so touched by this."
Previous recipients of the honour include Richard Pryor, Ellen DeGeneres and Will Ferrell.

Summary

A talented comedian and writer thoroughly grounded in improv comedy, Seth Meyers made his name on "Saturday Night Live" (NBC, 1975- ). Added to the show in 2001, Meyers had a meteoric rise behind-the-camera to become the show's co-head writer alongside Tina Fey. After her departure, he not only became the sole head writer, but also Amy Poehler's co-anchor of "Weekend Update." The newsdesk proved a perfect fit for Meyers's dry wit, and his innocent good looks and low-key, cerebral humor meshed hilariously with Poehler's more manic, go-for-broke intensity. When Poehler left the show, Meyers took over "Weekend Update" on his own, visibly relishing the high-pressure position. Credited with writing Tina Fey's immortal Sarah Palin-skewering sketches, the award-winning Meyers left his mark on American pop culture history. While his success on "SNL" proved to be quieter than many of his flashier contemporaries, Meyers earned a loyal fanbase and proved his chops both in front of and behind the camera, setting himself up for a lengthy comedy career that hit a new phase when it was revealed that he would be taking over Jimmy Fallon's "Late Night" hosting role in 2014.

Born Jan. 8, 1976; cast member of Fox series "MADtv" and "That '70s Show"

Notes

"It doesn't matter what kind of pressure I'm under or how long the hours are – when I hear laughter coming from the office next door to mine and I know people aren't goofing off but actually doing their jobs and doing them well, it keeps me going. Laughter is what keeps everyone going." – Meyers quoted in Esquire, January 2009
